We’re here to help untangle the often-overwhelming world of dog leashes. | When it comes to the connection that matters most, we go all-out to design strong and reliable leashes built to enhance your journeys together. Which one’s right for you and your dog? | | | | WANT TO GO FOR A WALK? | Every dog-and-human duo (and the paths they explore) is different. That’s why the simple act of getting out for a walk with your dog on leash can look vastly different and call for a different tool to do the job. | Here are a few things worth considering when finding your next leash: | | LEASH LENGTH | When choosing a leash length, make sure to account for your height, your dog’s height, and the space in between. You can use a piece of string to play around with finding the optimal length for you and your dog, or opt for a leash with an adjustable length. | | | STATIC VS DYNAMIC | A static leash will give you a fixed length and a more responsive connection to your dog. A dynamic leash is a little more forgiving for the stop-and-sniffers and a smoother ride for the the dog and human. | | | HANDS-FREE VS HAND-HELD | For a more interactive connection or a dog that needs a little guidance on leash, go hand-held. Hands-free is great for freeing up your hands while running, hiking, or walking. | | | | | | EVENT: VET TIPS & GEAR FOR SUMMER EXPLORING WITH YOUR DOG | Will you be in Bend, OR on June 18?
